Monitor Almost Anything, 24x7

The primary purpose for developing Portfolio Plus Sentinel was to ensure enterprise-level monitoring support and enhanced service levels for Portfolio Plus, Progress OpenEdge, and Sonic Software. Yet Sentinel can do so much more. Sentinel can be configured to monitor other enterprise applications and hardware such as Microsoft Exchange, Apache Web Servers and any router or network device that supports SNMP. The monitoring options and support options available for Portfolio Plus Sentinel are created especially for you.
